We are trying to get passport cards for our trip to Montreal on the Adirondack. What a pain in the rear. I figured I would at least buy the tickets but no, need passport numbers to even make the reservation. OK, went to the post office Saturday to get passports, oh that will take 4 to 6 weeks. We leave in six weeks! My copy of the birth certificate was accepted by PO, they would not accept my wife's, did not have parent's information on it even know she paid 80 dollars to get this copy a year ago. State department will not accept. Now I need to try to get a hold of my federal representative and see if he can expedite and help to get a new copy of her BC.But now we have the time issue, not sure if we can even get the passport card in time. Until I get the card, I will not be able to make the reservation. HOW ON EARTH DO ILLEGAL PEOPLE GET BY IN THIS COUNTRY, BECAUSE LEGALS DON'T SEEM TO HAVE MUCH OF A CHANCE. I do not get it, with computers and everything, you would think this information can be verified in no time. Yet I can go and vote and not even show ID. Any advice??? Thank you
